    Der Cab Car von AmtrakX995 hat mir aufgezeigt, dass meiner Unvollständig is. Hab noch Scheibenwischer, Grab Irons und Ditchlights (selbstgedreht) angefügt. Ausserdem hab ich meine E60 montiert, jetzt fehlen nur noch die Pantos (*Elmar mit dem Ellenbogen stoß*)

    Ich hab mir zu Sylvester in Berlin eine GG1 aus nächster Nähe betrachtet. Sound und Fahreigenschaften sind Klasse, Detaillierung ist nicht so das Wahre find ich. An den Fenstern sind die Spaltmaße unterschiedlich, teilweise sind die Fensterdurchbrüche im Gehäuse schief.


    Aus Metall kann man durchaus mehr machen, wie Murkslin mit der PA zeigt.


    Ich glaube das beste wäre ein BWI Fahrwek mit gesupertem Gehäuse von Mehano und Stromabnehmern von BWI.

    Ach, ma abwarten. Meinen HO E60 sieht man auch nicht mehr an, dass sie von Bachmann sind. Da kann ich ein Sprichwort von Arbeit nehmen: Farbe und a bissl Kit, machen jeden Flieger fit! Das Gilt auch für Loks. :D


    Micha, der sich fragt was eine Crap Allergie ist...

    Zitat

    noch eine n lok ?? was willst du denn mit sooooooo viel rollmaterial ?


    Ha Ha Ha, ich kringel mich vor lachen :D


    Obwohl mir von mehreren Seiten davon abgeraten wurde, will ich mir das Centennial Zugset von Bachmann holen. Eigentlich nur wegen der E60, aber die gibbet leider net einzeln. Und ich denke daraus kann man mit etwas Spachtel und Farbe ein schickes Maschinchen machen.


    Micha, der seinen Namen irgendwann unter Steves Model of the Month sieht... :P

    hab ich gar net - das sag ich meiner Mama.


    Nein, alles blos Spass, schliesslich spiele ich mit dem Gedanken mir demnächst eine Spur N Lok zu zulegen.


    Nein, ich habe keine Drogen genommen.


    (Ãœbrigens hab ich schon seit über einem jahr eine Spur N Lok...)

    Zitat

    ...da stellt sich mir doch ganz unverfroren die simple frage: "Wo denn ?"


    Scheibenwischer, KD Coupler, und die Front Door is auch net Original.


    Ich bin zu net viel gekommen. Hänge immer noch an meiner Atlas AEM-7 rum, und bewundere immer noch die Chinesen für ihre Geduld, so ne Lok zu zurüsten...


    Ansonsten verkloppe ich grad ne Menge Zeugs bei ebay, mehr is net geworden.


    Schönen Sonntag noch.


    Micha, der auf Antwort von LotT wartet...

    Zitat

    hab noch einen gefunden: "is this p****ble ?"


    Gibt es über die Eidgenossen eigentlich auch ein vergleichbares Schimpfwort wie O S S I? (Ist übrigens auch in Fossil enthalten)


    eines Tages, werd ich mich rächen...



    [SIZE=1]ich werd alle Spur N Loks zerbrechen...[/SIZE] :D

    Anscheinend gehts, aber bitte net so groß. Da inzwischen html im Beitrag erlaubt is, kannste dat auch selber machen. Hier der Quelltext als Beispiel:


    "img src=http://www.us-modellbahnen.de/X995/X995-1.jpg width=500 height=500" Das width und height gibt die Bildgröße in Pixeln an, und kann beliebig verändert werden. Vor das img und hinter die 500 muss jeweils ein < und ein >


    Das sieht dann so aus:


    <img src=http://www.us-modellbahnen.de/X995/X995-1.jpg width=500 height=500>


    Was macht eigentlich ne X996 mit Phase 3 Amfleets, die erst ab ´79 fuhren? ;)


    MfG, Micha

    Muss auch ma sagen, die Loks sehen stark aus. Aber wieso haben die auf beiden Sieten Speed Recorder Cables? Is dat normal?


    Hab am Wochenende ne Atlas AEM-7 lackiert, hat gut geklappt, Bilder zeig ich euch nächsten Freitag. Musste dann aber feststellen, dass die Chinesen, die die Loks zusammenbauen, keinen leichten Job haben. Die Kleinteile sind sowas von empfindlich, das war ein Krampf die anzubauen. Zwei Liftbars sind mir gleichmal auf nimmer wieder sehen vom Tisch gehuppt. Und die Decals sind auch schief gegangen. Die waren so alt, das die bei der geringsten Berührung gerissen sind, und sich selbst mit mehreren Microsol Bädern net anlegen wollten. Hab ich se eben wieder runtergeruppt, lass mich doch net verarschen von son ne paar blöden Decals... X( Hab zu Hause noch nen Bogen, ich hoffe der geht besser.

    Hab grad einen Auszug aus dem Norfolk Southern Gift Shop bekommen, Lokführer haben so ein schönes leben, die müssen sich wie Könige fühlen. Aber lest selbst:


    The Norfolk Southern (un-)Official Employee Gift Guide


    With the joyous holiday season upon us, we're once
    again confronted with that perennial problem: "What to
    get the person who has everything?" Thanks to our
    employer, the decision is even more difficult this
    year. After all, when you work for "the best railroad
    in the world", what more could you possibly ask for?

    comfort! Perfect for those long nights in the sidings
